flecky76 0 Posted October 19, 2013 Mottys immortal line following Mark Bowens goal to put Norwich 2-0 up in Munich after 30 minutes. So dear old Motty recalls that he only said that line because he had been on the Fantasy Football League programme with Baddiel and Skinner. Well I''m afraid his memory is getting a bit clouded (not for the first time!) as that show didn''t even start until 2 months later. It was also not until the 2nd series 12 months later that the programme really became popular, so the line used in the Munich game was most certainly original at that time, way before any actual "Fantasy Leagues" we''re invented!Perhaps Motty could have made a few quid by copywriting his statment!!!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_Football_League Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
